  1. * There was incomplete data for 55 of the n = 2417 sessions: 22 without information on risk topics covered, and 33 additional sessions with incomplete data on session length.
  2. ** Average length of time per session is reported in minutes and includes all content covered: general, one or more of the three designated risk factor topics & reproductive risk coverage.
  3. *** The maximum number of targeted risk factor topics that could be covered in any session was three: depressive symptoms, IPV, and tobacco risk (for smokers vs. non-smokers).
  4. **** For sessions where "0" risk factor topics were covered, either the participant refused to discuss that content or an urgent issue took precedence over the targeted risk topics.
